Lviv is famous for its coffee shops and “tsukernies” (confectioneries). Coming here visitors touch the history and traditions, enter one of the oldest confectionery companies in Ukraine – the factory “Svitoch”.

The factory is located at Tkatskaya, 10. Although the brand Svitoch appeared only in the Soviet period, the company started its history from the distant 1882. Since 60s of the last century, the word Svitoch gradually became a mark of quality and long traditions of chocolate in Lviv for the entire population of the Soviet Union.

When you get to the factory territory, immediately after the entrance you can see a graffiti: “It is necessary to remember about security since January till December!”. Health and safety of work in “Svitoch” are in a especial honour here. Let’s make sure of it.

Not like some of the places E.R. has posted; workers wearing slippers or open toed thongs, no hair nets, no gloves, one chick was scratching her nose and next shot had her rolling sausage or something barehanded. This place knows good hygiene practices.

The worker picking the waffels doesn’t wear any gloves or bags on his shoes. That’s just bad example for the visitors going through all this trouble of hygiene, and really takes the air out of all the beautiful signs.
